This is it! Everything we have worked for this whole season is coming to a culmination in Week 21. Some leagues have already started their playoffs, but in most leagues, Week 21 is the Regular season finale. For those of us in the hunt, it's the last chance to make the playoffs. For those lucky […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 21)

Last week I was certain the basketball gods were trying to take out all of the NBA’s superstars, or there was a zombie apocalypse brewing, (I still believe the zombie apocalypse personally). Thankfully, there are not many long-term injuries to report this week. As busy as NBA injuries keep me during the season, and as […]

Brandon Ingram: Lake Show Star

As one of the greatest tankathons in the NBA is underway, a few teams stand out. The Brooklyn Nets, who still don’t have their own pick this year, and the LA Lakers, who lose their 2018 first round pick to Boston or Philadelphia in a convoluted manner, both stand to continue to fight for wins […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: Week 21

Okay, so I think we need to talk about something real quick that has nothing to do with this column. That thing is this: JAMES HARDEN MADE WES JOHNSON FALL DOWN AND THEN HE JUST STOOD THERE AND THEN MADE SURE HE WAS BEHIND THE LINE AND THEN HE HIT A THREE. It was a […]

NBA DFS Weekend Dumpster Dive Week 20

Hey Which is better, Harden’s disrespectful, “I just did that to you” stare to Wesley Johnson as he drills a 3-ball and asks for a cleanup in aisle “13”, or Lebron’s, “I may be 33, but watch me KaioKen x10 right quick with this behind-the-back, through the legs, left-handed, parallel to the backboard, layup.... with […]

Young and Interesting: Comparing Present Youngsters To The Past

We're entering the home stretch of the season as all-star weekend just wrapped up in Los Angeles last week. At this point in the season, teams know where they stand in the NBA hierarchy, and one of the most exciting things about this part of the season is seeing what young guys can do when given […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 20

The trade deadline has passed, the All-Star break is over. Now comes the sprint. Just a little over 20 games remains in the NBA, which means the frenzy will pick up in fantasy basketball circles. Don't hesitate. Don't react. It's important to gain an edge. Fantasy owners should get very active on the waiver wire […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook?

The trade season in most fantasy leagues is drawing to a close on March 1st and there is little time to pull that final move that will make all the difference come fantasy playoffs. What we all should look to do is use one guys string of great performances and swap him for a guy […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Givers

As "iso-ball" disappears from the NBA and the unselfish style of basketball that Golden State perfected begins to permeate throughout the league, why hasn't there been an uptick in team assists per game? To that affect, how does that trickle down to fantasy basketball owner's decision making process when it comes to satisfying that category. Golden […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Shallow League Adds for Week 20

It's Week 20.  We're in the home stretch of the regular season and working the waiver wire successfully in these next few weeks are key to making a strong run in the postseason.

NBA Waiver Wire: Deeper League Adds for Week 20

We're hitting the part of the season where tanking teams are starting to show their hand, and that usually leads to a fantasy goldmine with young players on those tanking teams getting a chance at starters minutes. Let's take a look at some pickups as we gear up for the playoffs. Here are today's Week 20 deeper […]

Week 20 Essentials - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire

NBA is back in full swing, as we enter the most crucial time of the year for fantasy hoops. It was a nice refresher to get a two-week break, but it's officially crunch time. As a reminder for most leagues, fantasy playoffs will begin on Week 21 which begins March 12th. Drop the dead weight, […]

NBA Injuries and Who Can Benefit Instead (Week 20)

This season long pile-up of injuries has had me thinking, “Are we about to enter a Walking Dead-style apocalypse where this injury bug inevitably spreads and turns us all into walkers looking for flesh?!” This late in the year, even after the All-Star Break, injuries are commonplace. What isn’t as common as years past, is […]

Hustle Beats Talent When Talent Doesn’t Hustle

As lovers of fantasy basketball, we often have eyes trained to identify the valuable box score stats. But that’s not to say that we don’t appreciate the nuances of the game of basketball. Many of the most important players on an NBA roster provide help in areas that don’t get credited. Today we’re going to […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: Week 20

The long, long wait for basketball to return from the All-Star Break is finally over, but it's a little difficult to use a one or two game sample as a way of telling you which players to pick up this week. Instead, I'll be giving you part two of what I started last week. What […]

Think Macro, Not Micro: Drafting Archetypes in Category Basketball Leagues

With the all-star break limiting the amount of games to analyze, I thought I’d write about more general strategy as opposed to any player specific analysis. Even with the NBA taking a week off, there’s no reason for us to stop learning and become better players, so let’s take a look at some draft theory. […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 19

A little over 20 games remain in the NBA, once the league resumes from the All-Star break. More than likely you like (or hate) your fantasy basketball team and are searching the waiver wire for one of two things: either someone who comes on late from out of nowhere, or a gang of players to stream based […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Shallow League Adds for Week 19

It's Week 19 (or still "week 18" where this week and last are both the part of the same H2H matchup).  The All-Star break is officially over and that means we're just a few weeks away from fantasy playoffs. We're in the home stretch of the season and working the waiver wire successfully in these […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Future

When the NBA resumes after the all-star break, the entire league will go from pause to a full sprint. While some teams jockey for playoff position, others will already begin planning for the offseason. It is here where fantasy basketball's future and present collide. Every year--like clockwork--NBA executives on losing teams make the decision to […]

Dynamic Denver: The Nuggets’ Foray into Fame

Ok I’ll admit it… I’m totally bought into the hype surrounding the Mile-High City’s basketball team. They have an extremely talented youth, their own unicorn, and a thrilling offense. In my heart, they’re vying for the best kind of nuggets out there (Sorry McDonald's). Denver is currently 6th place in the Western Conference with a […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers: The All-Star Break

Hey y'all! We've reached the All-Star break, which means we don't have any basketball games again until next Thursday, unless you count the All-Star Game itself, which is technically basketball and technically will happen this week. Will this new format help the game? Probably not! We'll still see a final score somewhere in the 180-190 […]

NBA DFS Risers and Fallers for Week 18

Welcome back, my daily fantasy sports friends, to another edition of Risers and Fallers. There's not as much to cover this week, as we're just a day away from the All-Star Break. Did you know the break is a full 7 days? I sure didn't, and it made me sad because seven days without DFS hoops […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 18

A lot will change after the NBA All-Star break. Young players will get more run, older players will take more rest days and certain players will come out of nowhere to win fantasy basketball championships. If your fantasy team is sitting comfortably near the top, it might be worth using a roster spot on a […]

Three-Man Weave: Fantasy Basketball's Shooters

Like salt to a chef, the three-ball and basketball are linked. As the NBA changes, so does fantasy basketball. Basketball's love affair with analytics and three-point shot has dramatically changed the way the game is played. It has also changed the way we view fantasy basketball's shooters. As the long distance shooting grows so does the influx […]
